20090201486 | SCANNED LASER DETECTION AND RANGING APPARATUS - A method and apparatus for obtaining information about an environment having objects located around a vehicle. The laser detection and ranging system comprises a fan beam generation unit, a streak unit, a telescope, a switch, and a detector unit. The fan beam generation unit transmits a fan beam. The streak unit streaks a received beam generated in response to the fan beam to form a streaked beam. The telescope propagates the fan beam to a portion of the environment around the vehicle. The switch directs the fan beam generated by the fan beam generation unit through the telescope along an azimuth onto the environment around the vehicle and directing a response signal to the fan beam to the streak unit. The detector unit detects the streaked beam and generating range and angle data to generate an image of the environment. | 08-13-2009 |

20130077829 | Reflection Removal System - A method and apparatus for removing undesired features in an image. The image is converted from a spatial domain to a frequency domain to form a transformed image. A filter is applied to the transformed image to form a filtered image in the frequency domain. The filtered image is converted from the frequency domain back into the spatial domain to form a modified image. An intensity of an undesired feature in the modified image is increased as compared to the intensity of the undesired feature in the image. The undesired feature is removed from the image using the modified image to form a processed image. | 03-28-2013 |
